They have max money available this offseason (not that there is really anyone available worth that this summer) but I’m not sure how they’re going to make this team around Luka good enough to really win going forward.
Meh. I guess we will have to get a high pick the old fashion way and jump from the 8th pick to top 4
Holmes + Buddy for Unicorn?
I’m thinking Holmes made himself some money tonight. I’m thinking Dallas has images of a Doncic/Holmes pick and roll.
Either way. Nothing you could really do about this game. No fox, Barnes played half the game, holmes restricted to 25 mins. Big minutes for ty and double digit mins for metu Jones, td, Wright and guy. The only gripe you can have are too many minutes for moe, but I doubt his 6 points was a major factor. The kings had no business winning this game yet here we are. Like @iowamcnabb said, “you can’t lose them all...”Try 9th or 10th pick.

You mean the team featuring the next lebron James and future hall of famer Lu Dort?Have you looked at the line ups the Thunder are rolling out.
The Kings are now 12-11 over the last 2 seasons without Fox and 6 of the losses are 2 points or less.
Last year, the Kings were winless in lineups that did not feature Haliburton.So....
#Better
#TradeFox
#BuildAroundMetu
? ? ?
They should then trade up to the third pick and take the 10th best prospect anyways.

It weird cause when Cousins was here all the top posters would go on about how without Cousins the Kings were awful and it was constantly used as an argument when Cousins does not play the Kings are a bad team (they were awful with him). I'm simply doing the same about Fox and now it's a big deal to some of you. How is it cherry picking the last 2 seasons seems very relevant if Walton is such a bad coach he seems to do fine with our superstar is not playing.Doing some more cherry picking, eh?
I can do that too. The Nets are 25-11 (.694) w/o Kevin Durant this season vs. 16-9 (.640) when he plays.
I guess we can conclude that they are a better team w/o him?
What’s your end game here, seriously? Trying to sell others that Fox is some kind of scrub? That the KINGS would somehow be a playoff team this season w/o him playing any games??
If that’s the agenda, please let us know so I can add to the ignore list asap. I ain’t got the time nor desire to sift through utter nonsense.
Fwiw, the KINGS were 39-42 in 2018/19 with Swipa running the helm for a full season when they had a semi-capable head coach.
Does that not count more than the 23 cherry picked games over 2 seasons? Isn’t a much larger sample size to evaluate?
There’s far more evidence supporting Swipa as an upper-tier player than whatever it is you’re desperately trying to peddle here.

The Nets have 2 superstars and a perennial All-Star they are elite with or without KD where as the Kings are trash with Fox and above 500. without him and a lot of the losses were extremely close. I'm really failing to see the upper tier whatever that means.

No the two games this season were vital for both Dallas/GSW and all the 21 games last year were near the start/middle part of the year except for the final 2 so 19 games. My view of Fox changed after the Kings were 500. being carried by Holmes/Bjelica during the start/middle phase and I realized what I think now.I mean, what was the level of competition of the 23 games? Were any of them meaningless games for either team? Did any notable players return to the lineup that weren’t available in the games Fox played?

Holmes was the Kings MVP for the majority of last year him and Bjelica were the reason during the 20 or so game run the Kings got to 500 ball. Giving either Fox or Holmes a max deal is crazy. Bjelly was huge for teamplay/ball movement and his shooting until this year where he fizzled out and sucked was a huge reason for the Kings turnaround the year they went 39-41 and Shumperts defense/toughness was the difference between the team being good and completely tanking when they got star 2 way SF Barnes.”Being carried by Holmes/Bjelica” LMFAO.
Now it comes into full focus. The serbian fan touting Bjelica as the star player carrying the team to a winning record.
Good, great, wonderful, grand.
I’m curious, how’s Bjelica’s back holding up carrying the MIA Heat right now?
Also, I dig Richaun Holmes as much as any KINGS fan — but surely wasn’t aware HE was more worthy of a max contract than Swipa. Somebody better tell the KINGS and all 29 other GM’s that wouldn’t offer him the same deal.

Teams that I can stomach beating are LA and the Mavs (this goes way back to early in my career when I did work with the AAC, call it friendly rivalry but also C-Webb happened). Yeah it sucks but this one is on Dallas and they are totally going to ruin it with Doncic and I bet he walks after his second contract when they have failed to build a winner.
There were a couple of people in the org I really liked and we had good bants but Cuban's #2 was a total a-hole to deal with. I will always root against them unless they are playing the Lakers.Yeah, I pretty much feel the same. Always hated those weasley Mavs teams back in that era. The only time they got the drop on our KINGs was after C-Webb went down. They couldn’t beat them fully healthy.

It also took Nick Van Exel playing like the second coming of Tiny Archibald if memory serves me correct.Yeah, I pretty much feel the same. Always hated those weasley Mavs teams back in that era. The only time they got the drop on our KINGS was after C-Webb went down. They couldn’t beat them fully healthy.
